http://nerdist.com/greg-behrendt-reigns-on-write-now-with-jimmy-pardo/#commentsMon, 10 Dec 2012 21:11:03 +0000http://www.nerdist.com/?p=62192This week on the season finale of Nerdist Channel’s Write Now! with Jimmy Pardo, my old friend Greg Behrendt does his standup while Gary Lucy, Frank Sebastiano, and Danielle Koenig write jokes for Jimmy. You know Greg from Walking the Room, from his standup album Uncool, from his Comedy Central specials Mantastic and That Guy From That Thing, from his syndicated TV show, from his sweaters… oh, yeah, he wrote some books, too. (True Fact: Jimmy co-starred on Greg’s great lost Comedy Central pilot The Lemur while I stood nearby as Guy Who’s There In Case Someone Has A Question About Radio but Mostly Just Stares At The Red Vines on the Craft Services Table. Brush with greatness! Also, if someone starts a Six Degrees of Jimmy Pardo, I’m golden)

Here’s a helpful video reminder that tomorrow- Black Friday — is not just for buying stuff you don’t need at prices you could probably beat at home online. No, it’s also the day for the 4th annual Never Not Funny Pardcast-a-Thon, the 12-hour comedy podcasting marathon hosted by the Nerdist Channel’s own Jimmy Pardo and his podcast partners Matt Belknap and Pat Francis along with an all-star parade of guests, They’re raising money for Smile Train, which provides free surgery for kids with cleft palates and cleft lips who otherwise couldn’t afford it.

Among this year’s guests, as we’ve previously noted, will be Jon Hamm, Sarah Silverman, Rob Corddry, Scott Aukerman, and many more. Watch it live noon to midnight on Friday (Pacific time) at pardcast.com. And donate here.

(Say, while you’re in a giving mood, why not watch Write Now! with Jimmy Pardo on the Nerdist Channel? Or listen to Never Not Funny? Or subscribe to the Nerdist Channel? It’s the spirit of the season….)

He’s originally from Toronto, in case that’s information you were seeking. The panel providing jokes for Jimmy: Dan O’Keefe, Laurie Kilmartin, and Boris Hamilton.

After you watch the show, it would be prudent to listen to Never Not Funny, you know.

Friday, November 23rd is the date for the 4th annual Never Not Funny Pardcast-a-Thon, in which the Nerdist Channel’s own Jimmy Pardo and his podcast partners Matt Belknap and Pat Francis, along with an all-star parade of guests, raise money for Smile Train, the charity that helps provide children with cleft palates and cleft lips the surgery they need for free. It’s 12 straight hours of funny for a good cause.

This year’s guest lineup will include Jon Hamm, Sarah Silverman, Rob Corddry, Scott Aukerman, and many more to be announced. It’s going to be great, and you can watch it live noon to midnight on Friday (Pacific time) at pardcast.com. There’s more information here, including a link for donations, which will help some of the over one million children in the world who need cleft palate and lip surgery and can’t afford it.

Listen, laugh, give. That’s a nicer way to spend Black Friday than fighting the crowds at the sales.

Plus, a joke about Jonah Ray that doesn’t get Jarrett any extra points.

Mon, 29 Oct 2012 19:00:54 +0000http://www.nerdist.com/?p=58278New on the Nerdist Channel starting today is Write Now! with Jimmy Pardo, the video version of something Jimmy, one of our favorite comedians, has been doing live in L.A. and as bonus episodes of Never Not Funny — it’s where a panel of some of the best comedy writers in the business write material to feed to Jimmy on the fly while a comic performs, and the laughs come from the jokes… or from their utter failure. Either way, you will laugh.

The first episode features standup Josh Comers and a panel consisting of Laurie Kilmartin, Ed Lee, and Frank Sebastiano.

http://nerdist.com/bowling-with-podcasters/#commentsMon, 28 May 2012 14:31:12 +0000http://www.nerdist.com/?p=46583It’s podcasting comedians against podcasting comedians in an epic All Star Celebrity Bowling on the Nerdist Channel today, as Team Nerdist takes on Team Podcast and splits the Sklars. Marc Maron (WTF), Jimmy Pardo (Never Not Funny), Greg Behrendt (Walking the Room), and Jason Sklar (Sklarbro Country) battle Chris Hardwick (Nerdist), Todd Glass (The Todd Glass Show), Cole Stratton (Pop My Culture), and Randy Sklar (Sklarbro Country) from The Spare Room at the Hollywood Roosevelt. A coin flip pits brother against brother, Todd sports a tattoo sleeve and gets special treatment from the video editor, the guys tell their stories about bombing on TV talk shows… this one’s possibly the funniest yet, but from the lineups, that’s not a surprise.

Team Podcast is playing for Smile Train, helping provide cleft palate surgery to children in need around the world.
